Swimming fun in Year 1P!

Good evening parents,

We are having a wonderful time at swimming this week. Despite the hot weather the children are loving having the opportunity to swim in the beautiful blue water at the Dunsborough boat ramp!

The children are allowed to wear their swimming outfits to school and are encouraged to bring thongs to wear as it is a very quick change over between lessons. As it is hot when we are having our lessons, children are asked to wear rash vests as I found that a few children were coming without them.

Here are a few snaps from our swimming lessons!

We have had a wonderful time at swimming! 

Week 1 Merit Award Winners

Congratulations to our week 1 merit award winners Nina and Holly G! You are absolute super stars!

Swimming information

Good afternoon parents,

This is just a gentle reminder that we have swimming starting on Monday the 8th of Feb for 2 weeks. Our swimming block time will be from 10.15-11.20 and we will be buddying up with the Year 4 students. Your children are encouraged to wear their swimming clothes and thongs to school (eg. Rashie and board shorts) to school and have their sports uniform in their bad to change into after.

Could you please ensure that your child has a plastic bag to put their wet clothes into and a spare pair of underwear to change into after swimming.

We are very excited about swimming lessons next week!

Thank you

Miss Prowse

Sip and Crunch

Good afternoon parents,

This is just a quick note about sip and crunch. In Year One we have sip and crunch in the mid morning before recess. As we have a long dedicated Literacy block in the morning, we take this opportunity to have a brain break and enjoy some fruit or vegetables so it can keep us going until recess.

The objectives of Sip and Crunch break are:

- Increase awareness of the importance of eating fruit or vegetables and drinking water everyday

- Enable students, teachers and staff to eat fruit and vegetables and drinking water everyday

- Encourage parents to provide students with healthy snack of fruit and vegetables on a regular basis

- Integrate sip and crunch into our dedicated Health program which runs in our school

We would love your help to encourage your child to bring in a piece of fruit or some cut up vegetables and place it on their desk as they arrive in the morning. A small container with fruit or vegetables already cut up would be very helpful.


Sports uniform on Fridays

This is also a note to let you know that on Fridays we wear our sports uniform with our coloured sports shirt. If you have not yet purchased a coloured shirt from our uniform shop, the children may wear their shirt normal sports top for this week.

Thank you for your support

Welcome to Year 1P for 2016!

Hello and welcome parents to the Year 1P blog,

I hope you have all had a relaxing and peaceful holiday and are as excited as you are for the year ahead!

I am looking forward to getting to know your beautiful children and working with you throughout your child's learning journey this year.

Year One is a big, but exciting year where your child will, discover, grow, create, learn, reflect and experience an abundance of fun and interesting things in our class!

This blog will be the main communication for any parent information over the coming year.  Please enter your email into the 'follow by email' section on the left hand side of the blog so you will get email updates when I post to the blog.

A few important things over the next weeks:

Home Readers

As the children are settling into the new routines and expectations of Year One, we will begin sending home reading books from Monday the 8th of February on a 2 day roster. Your child will be scheduled a changing day (Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday)  but we ask that you bring their reading folder everyday so they can read in the morning and keep their sight words in them for the year.

Swimming

Swimming commences next Monday the 8th of February for 2 weeks. We are scheduled to head to the beach with the Year 4 students at 10 am with our lesson commencing at 10.15am. We will return to school around 11 am in time for recess.

Please bring their towel, goggles and a spare plastic bag (for wet bathers) in either a separate sports bag or plastic bag which will hang outside until our swimming time. We ask that your child come to school in their thongs but pack their sports shoes in their bag to change into after the lesson.

Specialist days:

Monday: Music
Tuesday: Sport (Sports uniform)
Wednesday: Indonesian and Library (Please bring their library bags on this day)
Thursday: Health
